Mei Jinfeng, who was standing nearby, also noticed the oil painting, and her expression immediately became extremely solemn.
"This is it! I knew it! Why did that girl seem so familiar..."
However, at this point, a hint of sadness crept into her voice.
But Xia Liuqing, who was in shock at the time, didn't notice at all.
Instead, he pointed to the girl in the oil painting, whose eyes were bright and whose smile was sweet, yet who looked remarkably like Feng Baobao, and said:
"This...this...this isn't Feng Baobao?!"
"How come she's among the sect leader's collection?!"
Seeing Xia Liuqing's shocked expression, Mei Jinfeng's gaze was complex as she slowly said:
"I can't say for sure what exactly happened."
"But the only thing I know is that all the items in this collection are things that the sect leader values highly."
"And the person in this painting must be the same."
She did not know Feng Baobao's exact identity.
It could even be said that before seeing Feng Baobao, she had never paid much attention to this oil painting.
After all, the fact that a woman's portrait was displayed among the most important collections of her beloved man was already quite unpleasant for her.
In order not to make things difficult for myself, I chose to ignore it, which is self-deceptive.
But to everyone's surprise, the person in the painting is now standing right in front of us!
Even though Mei Jinfeng was easygoing, she couldn't stay calm!
"Jin Feng, isn't this the sect leader's old flame?"
Xia Liuqing made a very tactless remark, which made Mei Jinfeng, who was already upset, even more irritable.
"How should I know! Go ask Feng Baobao yourself, she's up there!"
He snatched the oil painting from Xia Liuqing's hand and put it into the pile of his collection.
Xia Liuqing was speechless when she saw her suddenly get angry.
Standing there, somewhat bewildered, I had no idea why...

Chapter 251. The Twelve Labors Formation: All Four Madmen of the Quanxing Sect Arrive!
251.
Inside the secret room, Mei Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing were looking at the oil painting in their hands, feeling shocked.
Feng Tianci and the others stood guard at the passageway, chatting idly.
Only Zhang Chulan remained silent after making his statement, his gaze constantly drifting towards the cave.
Although Feng Tianci saw this, he ignored it.
On the contrary, Wang Zhenqiu, a smug smile on his lips, suddenly said in a sarcastic tone:
"Zhang Chulan, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do you keep looking into the cave?"
"Or... is there something inside that you particularly want?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Chulan.
Even he himself felt a chill in his heart and cursed inwardly.
That damn Wang Zhenqiu, he's always targeting me!
If it weren't for him accompanying me this time, I wouldn't be in such a passive position now!
No matter how angry he was, he had to suppress it in the face of everyone's gaze.
Especially since Feng Tianci also noticed him!
"You bastard, don't falsely accuse me! There's nothing in this that I want!"
"It's just that so much time has passed and I haven't seen any movement inside, so I'm worried about my mother-in-law and Old Master Xia."
Hearing his sophistry, Wang Zhenqiu smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically:
"There's only one path leading to the cave, and we've guarded it."
"Not even a mosquito could get in, let alone a person. What are you worried about?"
"Or is it that you're the one who actually wants to get in?!"
Faced with Wang Zhenqiu's aggressive questioning, Zhang Chulan could no longer suppress his anger and immediately said with a gloomy face:
"You jerk, I think that applies to you too, doesn't it?"
"Actually, I've been curious about you ever since you appeared."
"Why are Brother Xiao and Brother Guan both in bed, but you're getting up so fast?"
"Was Brother Feng too lenient back then? I doubt it!"
"In my opinion, you must have heard some news, which is why you came all this way!"
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Wang Zhenqiu.
Seeing the two arguing and revealing each other's secrets, everyone instantly became bystanders, tacitly refraining from intervening.
"Zhang Chulan! You have absolutely no shame!" Wang Zhenqiu roared, pointing at Zhang Chulan and cursing.
"Do you think I came here willingly? It's because someone was talking nonsense to President Zhao behind my back!"
"The group that kidnapped Ma Xianhong might very well be here!"
"As a result, I, the wounded soldier, was temporarily pulled over to help you put on this show!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, and the others all showed expressions of surprise.
They never imagined that these two were involved in such a shady deal!
On the contrary, Liu Ming, who was being supported by Feng Baobao, broke out in a sweat after hearing the argument between the two, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu at this moment, and no one noticed him.
Only Feng Baobao noticed his odd behavior, but pretended not to know and ignored it completely.
"What do you mean by 'playing along with me'?!" Zhang Chulan, seeing his underwear had been pulled down, immediately became enraged and shouted.
"I'm doing this for the company's sake, aren't I? So many people died during the escort of Ma Xianhong, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Now that I finally have a chance to find those people, of course I have to come and see!"
"I just didn't expect that President Zhao would send you!"
He then abruptly changed the subject, his tone turning somber, and asked, "Or did you request to come along this time?"
"Old Man Xia is a member of the Quanxing Sect, how did you suddenly become his apprentice?"
Does the company know about this?
Faced with this question, Wang Zhenqiu was speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer.
Indeed, the company was unaware of this matter.
The problem is, I was forced to recognize my master during this operation!
In the end, isn't this all Zhang Chulan's doing?
"Damn it! Zhang Chulan, don't try to blackmail me with this kind of thing!"
"Do you dare say you haven't done anything else behind the company's back?"
"Putting everything else aside, when you were reporting to General Manager Zhao, you didn't mention that members of the Quanxing sect would also be involved!"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Wang Zhenqiu quickly changed the subject.
However, the two of them kept bringing up Quanxing, which made Ding Shian and Xia He extremely unhappy.
"Hey you guys, that's enough. We may be Quanxing, but we haven't offended you, have we?" Xia He said, quite dissatisfied.
But before she could finish speaking, Zhang Chulan suddenly rebuked her:
"Shut up! This is a matter for our company, what right do you have to interfere, you vixen!"
“You…” Xia He was stunned by Zhang Chulan’s words, not expecting him to speak to her like that.
But soon, she realized that something was wrong.
Before she could say anything, Zhang Lingyu suddenly stepped forward, shielding Xia He and angrily rebuking her:
"Zhang Chulan, are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting!"
But Zhang Chulan was completely unconcerned by his junior uncle's questioning. Instead, he displayed a manic expression and sneered repeatedly:
"Am I crazy? I think you're the one who's crazy!"
"The dignified Master Lingyu of the Celestial Master's Mansion had an ambiguous relationship with the Quanxing demoness, which ultimately prevented him from even cultivating Yang Lei!"
"Look at your behavior! You've completely disgraced the Celestial Master's Mansion and your advisor!"
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Lingyu looked panicked, then became furious.
You should know that being unable to master Yang Thunder was the most heartbreaking thing in his life.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chulan revealed this matter in front of everyone!
Even though it's an open secret, he still has a sense of shame!
"Zhang Chulan..."
Zhang Lingyu squeezed out these three words through gritted teeth, his face already extremely gloomy.
The dark lightning in his right hand flowed slowly like a mud pit, constantly falling to the ground and gathering.
However, at that moment, Ding Shian suddenly appeared in front of everyone, raised his hand and flicked out several silver needles, which were then inserted into their acupoints!
The group of people who were originally at odds were suddenly awakened by the stinging pain, and they looked bewildered.
At the same time, Feng Tianci slightly turned his head, looked at the empty space ahead, and said with murderous intent:
